South Kensington
A Ghost Train....
Now here's a sighting of a ghost train and we don't mean the train timer showing a train in 3 mins and then just disappearing! .
A late night passenger from the last westbound tube said he he saw a train pull into South Ken station in December 1928. An ear-piercing whistle sounded all around with the passenger spotting a ghostly figure in a reefer jacket and peaked cap hanging from the side of the engine. The man and the train then vanished into the tunnel never to be seen again......
South Kensington platforms were used as a hospital during World War Two.
The main highlightS near the station being The Natural History Museum, The Science Museum and the Victoria & Albert Museum. These are directly connected to the station via an underpass where temporary art exhibitions are on display.South Kensington is also the nearest station to the Royal Albert Hall on Kensington Gore and Christie's on 85 Old Brompton Road.
